I'm 14 years old and don't produce sperm?
The male body progresses at different rates. I myself did not produce until I was 16. You have plenty of time to develop and grow. Do not be disappointed, be elated. You still get to experience the joys of masturbation without the necessary cleanup afterwards.
Which albums did Dr. Dre produce?
This is a good question, since Dr. Dre has been involved in numerous albums, tracks, and projects (detailed on Wikipedia's Dr. Dre discography: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr....). In 2005, Slate published an excellent feature piece about Dr. Dre which declared that:Since 1998, only five albums can truly be considered pure Dre projects -- the first two releases from Eminem, the debuts of 50 Cent and The Game, and his own 2001.I believe that this interpretation is correct. In this light, the six albums that should be considered major Dr. Dre-produced projects are:The Chronic (1992) -- Dr. Dre's debut solo albumThe Slim Shady LP (1999) -- Eminem's second album (really Eminem's commercial debut)2001 (1999) -- Dr. Dre's second solo album; also known as Chronic 2001Marshall Mathers LP (2000) -- Eminem's third studio album; sequel to The Slim Shady LPGet Rich or Die Tryin' (50 Cent) -- 50 Cent's debut albumThe Documentary (2005) -- The Game's debut albumRelapse (Eminem, 2009) -- Eminem's comeback album after a long hiatusNotably, these albums are each considered among the best albums in the history of hip hop.Source: http://www.slate.com/id/2114375/
Does it hurt to get ear wax removed by your doctor?
There are a few ways they remove earwax at your doctor's office. Most doctors I have seen either use tools or irrigate. If he is using tools, then it shouldn't hurt but, the risk is that he can always scratch your earcanal which might hurt. Also sometimes the wax will stick to the ear canal and kind of pull which can also cause a bit of pain. If the Doctor irrigates the wax out, then it shouldn't hurt but, it can cause you to have vertigo (the sensation of spinning). DO NOT CLOSE YOUR EYES, that makes vertigo worse. Simply pick something to focus on and really focus in on it...the vertigo will leave you in a couple of minutes. Keep in mind that if you use an over the counter cleaning kit. If you get the water too hot or too cold you can give yourself vertigo so, try to make the water as lukewarm as possible and maybe have something you can use to steady yourself or sit down to do it...just in case you start to spin. The only other way I have heard about is some doctors have a little vacuum system that is used. I don't have much expierence with this method but, I hear from people that it doesn't hurt. You should let your Doctor know if it does hurt. You might also ask him for alternative methods of cleaning your ears out. Some people just have to go in every 6 months to have their ears cleaned. But, make sure you get them cleaned as impacted earwax can cause a mild hearing loss.
Does reservation (caste based) affect the quality of doctors produced?
There's no objective way of measuring the quality of doctors being produced and whether caste based reservations have any effect if at all on the quality of doctors, so the maximum anybody can do is give personal opinions and anecdotal evidence, so here goes mine.I believe there are many reasons affecting the quality of doctors being produced from colleges, but caste based reservations is not one them. The reason I say this is because although you may get admission to medical colleges based on reservation quotas or management seats, but clearing your college or getting passing marks in your university exams is a different game altogether. In our college, the people who topped in our batch had a mix of people who had come from reservation quota, some from management quota and some general merit students. The medical course is such, your caste or where you come from does not make a difference. For you to pass especially the post graduate courses you will have to work hard, cram stuff learn to treat patients, no quota can help you in this regard.But one area which does get affected is, reservation quota allows some people to enter, who cant handle the pressures of the course that is needed to get a degree. They keep flunking in subjects, cant clear there practical exams, and in the end either leave the course or sometimes worse end up commiting suicide.Bottom line is the people from caste based quotas, end up passing the course having gone through the same rigours, the long duty hours, getting scolded by your professors for the smallest of mistake, spending sleepless nights studying as the other general merit students. They are as capable as any good doctor. So the belief that caste based reservations affect the quality of doctors is just a myth.
What was the production cost for Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog?
Apparently, Whedon has chosen not to disclose the exact amount, but I did find articles where the cost has been approximated:"The reasonable cost of production -- which they won't disclose but say is less than a cheap horror movie would cost -- is due to the fact that Whedon called in a lot of favors, for cast, crew, and locations.""The 42-minute short has since been released on DVD with a huge collection of extras. Forbes has estimated the show has now grossed $2.5 million, 12 times the production costs, which is a great result by any standard."Source: http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/0..., http://www.forbes.com/2009/08/06..., http://www.webtvwire.com/joss-wh...

Why would a doctor make a teen girl get a thyroid ultrasound?? What thyroid conditions are there?
The lump in the throat could be an enlarged thyroid gland. The ultrasound will see if that's the case. If a thyroid gland is enlarged, then it's probably not working right. It might be an autoimmune condition, where the immune system attacks the thyroid, so the thyroid has to work much harder to produce the correct amount of hormone. If that is the case, they you can take thyroid hormone orally, no problem. If one's thyroid gland is not producing enough, then you're hypothyroid, and likely will be tired, sluggish, gain weight, have weak nails, dry skin, limp hair. If one's thyroid gland is producing too much, then you're hyperthyroid, and likely will have heart palpitations and be nervous, and perhaps lose weight. Thyroid problems are very common, and very easy to fix.
Why are there so many doctors in India? Why is the government increasing the number of medical seats drastically when there are no patients at all? Is the production of huge numbers of doctors the only way to serve rural India?
There are only 9.2 lakhs registered Doctors in india, and the medical council assumed that at any time 80% are working, we get nearly 7.4 lakhs Doctors. (Indian medical register is not a live database).Thus,the Doctor-population ratio comes out to be >1:1600. However, a recent parliamentry committee said that the actual ratio is >1:2000. The accepted global standard is 1:1000. However the ratio gives a false impression.Doctors are not uniformly accessible and the reality is that in govt hospitals , the ratio is close to 1:11000! We have a severe shortage of doctors and that is the reason that Interns,JRs have to work for more than 18 hrs on a regular basis, often stretching to a continuous 36 hrs duty!I think you got the 15 lakhs figure by including AYUSH doctors, but they are not REAL doctors and hence cannot be included in doctor-population ratio.The developed countries usually have a ratio of <1:800 . We are far far behind them,both in terms of number of doctors (relative to the population) as well as quality of care. The quality of care provided at government hospitals are very poor ,and the fact is that we cant even compare ourselves with them!However, the present rate at which we are producing doctors is more than enough, what we need is a good policy to distribute the doctors. There are some states where we have excess doctors and some states where we have severe shortage. Its more of a policy failure than the absolute count of Doctors.
